Swollen gland in neck

2017-09-14 14:45:52
I have what appears to be a swollen gland in the middle of my neck just above my Adam's apple. It is painless and can be moved around. I have not had any type of infection symptoms lately. Should I be concerned?

You may be suffering from prelaryngeal lymph node enlargement or thyroglossal cyst. You may need to undergo tests such as ultrasound of the neck and fine needle aspiration cytology. Once diagnosis is confirmed appropriate treatment can be planned
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
